Abstract

This reported work describes residual pesticide analysis in different vegetables, during the period first quarter of the year. A Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) method (AOAC Official Method 2007.01) was used to extract pesticide residues from vegetable samples. The vegetable, fruits and grain market-yard of Junagadh the district place of Gujarat is the selected place from which the vegetables are collected. In this study we reported the determination of pesticide residues from selected eight vegetables like cauliflower, brinjal, tomato, cabbage, cluster bean, bottle guard, okra, and chili.The samples were prepared by usual and established method and followed by extraction were subjected to analyses. The extracted pesticide residues were analyzed and quantified by standardized Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) method developed for 35 pesticide standards. The literature survey of the study of various samples, we tempted to do further study for the residue pesticides and residual insecticides analysis with more interest of its penetration and quantification in vegetables in order to understand the adverse effects and toxicity. The results indicate the presence of pesticide residues in some of the samples above the stated MRL (Maximum Residue Limit) value.
